Arty stuff that I have been involved with: Eric Carle’s House for Hermit Crab was the inspiration. They were made from polymer clay. I call it ‘Story in a Bottle’.

 

It was my sister’s 26th birthday on the 1st of January.

We had a mini BBQ in honour of her

Now more baking. I made some Magnolia Vanilla Cupcakes. They were very simple to make and delicious to eat.

Yes, just one green tomato amongst the red.

Very nice amber coloured tea.

Daiso tea light holder… Super shiny!

Ajisen Ramen meal combo: the silver fish tempura. It was A++++.

Super kawaii Japanese candy!!!! Look at that cute tangerine.

At Harbour Front – a cruise liner ready to sail.

More baking again: this time, caramel cream sponge cake. The cream was a success though I can’t say the same for the sponge cake.

Here is Nandhini in a her new robe. She looks posh, eh?

Finally!!!

That frame has finally been given the finishing touches,the antique look. The next step is to get a great picture or art to be framed up. (Yippee!!!)

Two lovely pencil holders, one from my ex- collegue and the other from a student.

I decided to do some deco on this …

… now I just need to paint it .

Lunar new year ornaments, my mom went shopping one day and bought these ! I noticed that she likes all the ‘lucky’ fishes!

Bought this in vancouver Ikea in 2004, brought it back here and had been in this state …

… till now. Painted it with acrylics and it looks brand new.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR

Nandhini was also in the mood for some celebrations, in her spanking new chinese clothing. Aww she is such a heart breaker!!!

To my friends here and to the chinese people all over the world , Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!! Hope you have happy and prosperous new year !

Time to get things moving…..finally!

Firstly, I quit my job and got a new job! Yay to me , hopefully I can stay longer in this new work place.

Secondly a few new additions and loss to the family.

We have a new bird (again) This is Nandhan!

Also Mata putih (although Mom calls her Martha, after Martha Stewart) passed away, I’m afraid it may have been due to the strong wind that has been around here, poor birdie must have been cold

We also got some fishies, but I don’t think I will post their pics yet.

I have not been able to craft much for some time, but I forcing myself to get inspired and after looking at some online tutorials, I managed to make these…

I don’t think I will be making anything out of them to sell though…unless I get some brilliant inspiration.

We went to Ikea and got this
frame, which was black in colour, but now its gold.

The original colour

The new colour

I was quite tempted to leave it like this

but decided against it .

Mom who was watching the whole process told me to make changes to the terracotta horses we bought from india.

I’m not very sure what to think of it really, but blah. I got some stickers from mini toon for my laptop keyboard

….a closer look…

are they cute or what!!

I also got this lovely jewellery holder.

I better get back to my crafting. Have a great weekend!!!
